Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael)

Paul Brady has brought honour and distinction to himself and his family, to Mullahoran, to Cavan and to Ireland in handball. I wish him well yet again. He is teaching in a school where I previously taught in Cavan town, St. Phelim's school. He is a wonderful asset to that school and to that community because of his sporting prowess and his being a wonderful role model for young people.

Senator Keogan proposed an amendment to the Order of Business relating to sugary drinks, etc. She makes that point very well. It is very pertinent. It is a real health issue. It is an issue for our young people. Obesity is a national challenge, with subsequent type 2 diabetes arising. It needs to be dealt with and I support her in all of that.

I thank Senators for all their contributions. With the help of the administrative personnel, I will make sure their points are passed on to the relevant sectors.
